WordPress 2.8.1 & WordPress MU 2.8.1
The first official release since the big WordPress 2.8 is finally out. Highlights of the new features are listed in the announcement post, but you can also view the complete list here. Lots of fixed glitches, memory improvements, and improved security:
Core Security Technologies notified us that admin pages added by certain plugins could be viewed by unprivileged users, resulting in information being leaked. Not all plugins are vulnerable to this problem, but we advise upgrading to 2.8.1 to be safe.
WordPress MU also came out with version 2.8.1 a day after. Unlike WordPress, WPMU didn’t have a version 2.8, so this is a big update for all you multi-users out there (including BuddyPress). Download it now!
You can upgrade to WP 2.8.1 by downloading it at WordPress.org or by clicking “upgrade automatically” after following the notice in your administration panel.
